Blue and red light have long been mainly employed in horticulture lighting since it is well known that plants absorb them more efficiently. Other wavelengths, including green , have, however, attracted little interest.
From Samsung's vantage point, different wavelengths are really crucial for the general development of plants.Many both internal and outside experimental research have confirmed this. Although chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light mostly, green light absorption is less; about 80% of green light passes through the chloroplast (Terashima, 2009). This lets green light find deeper chloroplasts within the leaf (Sun, 1998). The "backscattering effect" (Vogelmann, 2008) produced by the dispersion of green light inside the leaf expands the pathway of green light photons inside the leaf, thereby expanding the possibilities of chloroplast absorption and hence improving photosynthesis.
This perspective is consistent with the conventional wisdom that says plants mostly absorb red and blue light; nonetheless, past research sometimes neglected green light because of its reflection by chloroplasts. Combining blue, green, yellow, and certain red wavelengths ( 660 nm and 730 nm) , a full-spectrum white LED can offer ideal lighting for improved plant growth.
Based on this perspective, the V3 series grow lights have optimized the spectrum to meet the growth needs. The red and blue light peaks in the spectrum have been enhanced, and green light has been added to make the spectrum closer to natural sunlight. The optimized spectrum ensures effectiveness while also neutralizing the light pollution caused by red and blue light. More importantly, the adjusted spectrum can reduce eye strain. Our eyes use red, green, and blue cones to perceive colors, with maximum sensitivity during the day at 555 nm (green). When the light we see lacks green, our eyes adjust to an almost fully dilated state. This can lead to harmful blue light exposure to the retina.
The V3 full-spectrum grow light can provide precise lighting support for your plants. For example, it promotes leaf growth during the vegetative stage and increases flower quantity during the flowering stage. More importantly, this spectrum design helps improve the synthesis of key active compounds such as THC, CBD, and terpenes, thus enhancing the overall quality of the crop.
Ultraviolet Light (300–450 nm): Plant phototropism is mostly driven by UV light, which also shapes plant form, increases root development, and stimulates anthocyanin synthesis. Still, it might stifle the development of leaves and stems. Early stages are mostly used to raise survival rates and stop bacterial development by means of it. When in use, you can turn on the UV lights in the middle of the full-spectrum LED grow lights with a separate switch. It's important to note that UVB grow led lights should not be used for extended periods, as they can cause irreversible damage to plants.
Blue Light (450-495nm): Chlorophyll A & B are highly sensitive to blue light. Blue Light promotes photosynthesis and root development as well as protein and amino acid synthesis, thereby raising the THC and CBD content.
Yellow-Green Light (550–570nm) / Green Light (515– 520 nm) : Particularly in combination with other light properties, green light has a specific influence in encouraging photosynthesis. It rises general photosynthesis by penetrating the canopy.
Red Light (620–750 nm): Red light stimulates flowering and reproductive development, therefore boosting the yield of flowers—usually high in THC and CBD concentration.
Far-red light (around 730 nm) : Far-red light controls plant photoperiod by converting phytochrome PFR to Pr, therefore affecting the timing and quality of flowering and finally improving the production of active chemicals.
